[Don Pobanz <chuck.pobanz@xxxxxxxxx>]

I downloaded and install recent kernel as requested in comment 3. This
made no difference. Computer would not finish booting. Booting through
recovery mode per initail report works just fine.

don@PC-001:~$ uname -a
Linux PC-001 3.13.11-03131109-generic #201410141735 SMP Tue Oct 14 21:56:21 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

I then updated bios from 2.2.0 to 2.6.6 (Thanks Christopher).  This also
made no difference.

don@PC-001:~$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version
[sudo] password for don: 
2.6.6 

I do not know how to add (or modify) tags so have not added 'kernel-bug-
exists-upstream' (per comment 3) or changed the 'bios-outdated-2.6.6'
tag.

Title:
  Booting Dell Optiplex only works if first boot into safe mode.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When booting into a Dell Optiplex 745, it will hang (blank screen). It
  will, however boot fine if I select the 'advanced option for Ubuntu'
  from the boot loader and boot into 'recovery mode.' Once booted into
  'recovery mode', selecting the 'resume normal boot' works just fine. I
  have this same issue with the 3 different Dell Optiplex computers so
  this is not hardware on just one computer.

  The previous version of Ubuntu (13.10) worked fine with the same
  hardware. It was only after the system update to 14.04 that this began
  to happen.
